Good Fences ~ Edition 39 ~

Happy Thursday kids, it's once again time for some good fences.
You are going to have to concentrate on this one,
in order to "find" the fences.
This is a little more like a "Where's Waldo"...
so have some fun and see how many fences you can find!

A Season of Lights


The Water Mill


Surprise hugs...

 Water Mill

The Village is decorated beautifully,

Victorian style with thousands of lights!!

We visited on Sunday December 14th.
As we were leaving Peddlers Village,
the Christmas countdown clock looked like this...
Christmas in 10 days, 55 minutes and 56 seconds!!

We had dinner at Earls, it was just amazing!!
And lucky for me, one additional fence.
So how many fences did you find??
Sharing Peddlers Village lights and fences with my good friend
for Good Fences
Stop by and consider joining in the fun, any fence or gate will do!!

The 5 Dollar Chicken!!

We interrupt the "Holiday Happenings"
to once again talk about Costco's five dollar chicken!!
I know we have done this before, but humor me please,
I am sure I could feed a small village on "one" of those chickens.
 
Night One...We enjoyed hot, fresh, sliced chicken,
with stuffing and mashed potatoes.
I did not make a vegetable, I only have so much room in my belly,
and I'm not giving up any of that space for a vegetable.
I did not take a picture, it was good but not the stuff pictures are made of.
 
Night Two...Chicken Pot Pie
I have never made one before,
I found this recipe but did not have all the ingredients.
I became Martha Stewart and this one I photographed.
 
Chicken Pot Pie, On The Fly!!

You will have to look closely for the ingredient line-up...
I don't even remember what I put in!
Chicken, cubed potatoes, carrots, celery and corn,
and chicken stock of course.
I did not have an onion so I used Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb Seasoning
and that really pumped up the flavor.

If you don't see it in the pot,
perhaps a look at the kitchen counter will clue you in.
I did not have corn, per say...
so I used frozen green giant white corn and just through that in,
sauce and all.
No milk, so I used heavy cream, that can't hurt, right.
 
When all was said and done, it looked like this.

I used a refrigerated pie crust, easy-peasy and it was delish. 

Now here's the real kicker,
can you believe it ended up filling 2 pie dishes?!

 We ate three quarters of this one and I froze the other one.

so if you are counting with me,
this chicken produced three meals for five dollars.
All I can say is WoW!!
This was really yummy...comfort food at it's finest!!
